"Doing this course (as a very junior manager managing a rapidly growing team) was incredible. The course was jam-packed with practical content that was easy to understand but challenged my thinking in all the right ways. I feel much more confident in growing in my management skills and improving my overall communication to my team below (and above!) me."

"I really enjoyed this course and getting to hear the experience of Rebecca & guest speakers who have been managers for years as the real-life anecdotes are often what stayed with me after each module. Rebecca's passion and enthusiasm on the topic is infectious and I loved how transparent she was on her own difficulties with managing people at times. Will definitely recommend this course."

Rebecca Jones
ex Amazon
When she’s not doing her real job, Rebecca (Bee) is our team coach and full time cheerleader, whose role is to make sure our team is happy. She’s an incredibly enthusiastic leader and marketing professional driven by results and a passion for success.
She has a killer combination of experience in small and fast-growth businesses, with all the skills of a fully trained marketing manager from big business such as P&G, and Amazon.
Bee started with a team of 2 at just 24 years old and was entirely overwhelmed, especially when that team grew to 20 at aged 25. Desperately reading management books did not prepare her for the real life humans that looked at her expectantly every day, but since then she has managed teams of up to thirty and now thrives in teaching others how to do so too.
The perfect course for business owners looking to upskill their new managers
